Chapter 170 Exceptions
"No problem. Once you encounter him, tear up this talisman, and I will be able to return to the mortal world to help you in a short time!"
Yun Qing nodded and handed a yellow talisman to Qin Jun, which was covered with mysterious blood-red runes.
Suddenly, Hei Wu Chang laughed, "Yun Qing has recently broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, which will be a great help."
Qin Jun happily accepted the yellow talisman. The assistance of an Earth Immortal realm expert was not something he could refuse. Moreover, it was estimated that it would take ten or eight years for Yun Cheng Mo to fully recover to his peak. He was afraid that Yun Cheng Mo couldn't suppress his killing intent and would act prematurely, as demons were capricious.
"If you can help me kill Yun Cheng Mo, I will repay you!" Yun Qing looked at Qin Jun solemnly.
Qin Jun raised his eyebrows. This seemed like the trigger for a side quest!
"Don't worry! I've got it covered!" Qin Jun assured her, with Sha Seng around, he didn't actually need Yun Qing's help. However, since she wanted to, Qin Jun would do her a favor. Even he was moved by her thousands of years of determination.
Gratefully, Yun Qing nodded. With her cultivation, she still didn't have the ability to go to the mortal world temporarily, after all, she hadn't learned the Yin-Yang Escape like Hei Wu Chang.
"I will tell you about his fighting style and the signs of his appearance." Yun Qing continued, and then proceeded to tell Qin Jun everything she knew about Yun Cheng Mo.
Qin Jun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, not because this information was useless, but because it didn't trigger the side quest!
After Yun Qing finished speaking, she thanked Hei Wu Chang and Bai Wu Chang for giving her hope to fulfill her wish.
Although she and Hei Wu Chang were originally strangers, Hei Wu Chang suddenly found her and mentioned Yun Cheng Mo, which made her unable to remain calm.
"You're welcome, we're also helping our lord." Hei Wu Chang smiled and shook his head.
Then Qin Jun didn't say much either. After bidding farewell to Yun Qing, they left the inn.
Watching their departing figures, Yun Qing murmured to herself, "The two ghosts actually referred to the people in the mortal world as their lord. Could it be that this young man was their master in his previous life?"
To become a ghost or deity, it definitely required a long time. Therefore, she concluded that Qin Jun had been the master of Hei Wu Chang in a previous life, and the two of them had become ghosts or deities after death. Now they were coming to repay Qin Jun. After all, such things were not uncommon in the underworld.
Walking on the ghost street, Qin Jun couldn't help but ask, "You could have passed the message to me, why did you have to make me go to the underworld?"
Bai Wu Chang explained, "We didn't know her beforehand. She said she would only speak after seeing our lord."
For a living person to come to the underworld was indeed a rare occurrence, enough to convince Yun Qing.
Qin Jun suddenly realized and stopped asking. His thoughts were now focused on Sha Seng. He didn't know what kind of shock this ninth-level celestial realm monk would bring to him.
...
Early the next morning, Jia Xun came to knock on the door, pulling Qin Jun back to reality from his cultivation.
He got up to open the door for Jia Xun and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Just got the news. In this year's Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Tournament, each participant is allowed to bring a servant to the imperial capital. So the big shots are discussing who will accompany you to the imperial capital." Jia Xun said excitedly. Recently, Qin Jun had offended quite a few people, and he was also worried that Qin Jun might not return once he went to the imperial capital. So when he heard this news, he was pleasantly surprised.
Qin Jun also felt happy upon hearing this.
He immediately walked downstairs with Jia Xun.
At this moment, the cultivators of the Youlong Inn were discussing this matter.
"They can actually bring a servant, which is quite unreasonable!"
"It is said that because there have been deaths among the participants recently, there are complaints from various countries, and the imperial court cannot afford to lose face."
"That's right. In our city of Luoyan, many people have died, and it's all within the city."
"I always feel there's a conspiracy behind this. Think about the appearance of the demonic cultivator before."
"Don't scare me, is it that serious?"
Qin Jun overheard these discussions and was surprised. The murder cases in Luoyan City were not all his doing. He didn't expect similar incidents to be happening in other cities.
Could there really be a major event happening?
But with the foundation of the imperial court, they were not afraid of the participants bringing a bodyguard to the imperial capital. Not everyone was like Qin Jun, with a bunch of powerful subordinates. The most a kingdom could offer was the strength of the Void Transformation realm, and that was only a few kingdoms. Small countries like the Qianyue Kingdom had at most the strength of the Mortal Transformation realm.
In a certain corner on the first floor, Taibai Jinxing, Li Bai, Li Yuanba, Fa Hai, Daji, and Xiao Li were discussing. Qin Yun stood behind them with a look of envy, while Zhu Yanqing was drinking tea on her own without participating. The guards were standing around them.
When they saw Qin Jun approaching, Li Yuanba spoke first, "My lord, you don't need their help. I can do it!"
"No, although your strength is very strong, it's safer to have one more person." Taibai Jinxing shook his head.
"Brother Qin Jun, let me accompany you!" Xiao Li came over and coquettishly said, which made Zhu Yanqing frown slightly.
She didn't mind it before, but now that she had accepted Qin Jun, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Qin Jun shrugged and said with a smile, "Don't be silly. This time, I plan to take another person with me. You guys just wait here!"
"Another person?" Everyone was surprised, and a strange color flashed in the eyes of the Howling Celestial Dog. Could it be one of the Black and White Impermanence?
"In fact, you can bring four people!" Taibai Jinxing suddenly spoke, causing everyone to look at him.
Taibai Jinxing stroked his beard with a strategizing look, "The lord, Yuanba, the Fourth Prince, and Miss Zhu can each bring one person."
As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes widened, including Qin Jun. Damn, why didn't I think of this?
In addition to serving as the war pet, the Hellhound, he is equivalent to being able to bring five strong individuals to the imperial capital. Who else does he need to fear at that time?
The key is that Tai Bai Jin Xing's words effectively bring Qin Yun and Zhu Yanqing together on the same boat. Quite cunning!
"Since childhood, I have been spirited and bold, roaming the vast expanse of the universe. Displaying my prestige as a hero, I have the appearance of a great man!"
"I roam the nine continents and five lakes, traveling the four seas. All because I seek the path to wander the world, only to find a master and explore the vast lands!"
Just then, a hearty and wild laughter echoed from outside the inn, like thunder and drums, drawing the attention of many cultivators. Tai Bai Jin Xing, Li Bai, and other strong individuals furrowed their brows.
The newcomer is not simple!
"I carry my robes and alms bowl with care all year round, never letting my mind wander for a day. I have traveled the clouds and earth dozens of times, wandering leisurely over a hundred trips!"
"Thus, I have encountered true immortals, illuminating the path with golden light. First, I took the infant girls, and then I released the wooden mothers and golden fathers!"
Qin Jun inexplicably felt like he had read this passage in a book before, only to see a burly monk walking in. He had fiery, voluminous long hair, eyes as bright as lamps, a face neither black nor blue, draped in a goose-yellow robe, with a white vine tied around his waist, and nine skulls hanging from his neck, holding a fierce-looking staff.
It's really him!
Qin Jun became excited and stood up in a flash.
